Chronic pain hack: Part 17

That’s right. Only 6 seconds.
⠀
When living with chronic pain, your nervous system and biochemical pathways in your brain are overwhelmed.
⠀
Your brain is constantly analyzing and deciding what to do with the information that you are receiving.
⠀
This all happens in a split second.
⠀
Responses become automatic because your brain will always take the path of least resistance.
⠀
The path that it knows.
⠀
But what happens when you get a paper cut, and you respond as if you where hit by a car?
⠀
This is where that very negative emotion or fear comes into play.
⠀
Your past traumas are connected to your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs (usually pretty negative…when you think about it).
⠀
Your brain will confuse this information and tell you to respond the way you have in your past.
⠀
Pain is a very real sensation.
⠀
But, fear is a negative emotion.
⠀
When you take the fear out of the pain signal it will diffuse the situation.
⠀
Start by creating a new habit and think positive thoughts.
⠀
Write them down.
